  It’s less hassle than maintaining my homelab was when I used Ubuntu server. Just because I can do it the “hard way”, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy easy mode and not having to do much of anything.

  They give you exactly what they promise with zero enshitification. It’s a solid product and was worth it to me to buy, just for the convenience.

  The thing is, it doesn’t affect AI in the slightest. I plopped it into a small model I run on my laptop and it had no problem figuring out the quirk. Much like the people who add a bit of blur to their images to “poison” AI, it’s born from a fundamental misunderstanding of how AI works and has no effect on actual training.

  I mean, we’re all being pedantic, aren’t we? honestly, I don’t even know why we wasted the time we have on this lmao. for me it’s probably because I’m working and bored to death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  that could refer to an agency. when somebody says they “hired a plumber”, it isn’t an incorrect statement if that company employs multiple plumbers, despite the quote being singular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is implying plurality exaggerating things to begin with in this context? The headline is pretty vague, it doesn’t overtly exaggerate anything. It makes a pretty simple statement without embellishing anything.

  But if we’re going to get into the weeds, we don’t know how many private investigators work at whatever agency they hired, or how many were involved in tracking this person down.

  GOG Has Had To Hire Private Investigators To Track Down IP Rights Holders

  that’s not exaggerating anything. it’s merely saying it has happened at least once before.

  always interesting to see where their priorities lie.

  Being considered worthy of living in a space you so kindly have cut out of the external world is not association if you still haven’t realised that.

  that exactly is what mutual association is. I suggest you read the AFAQ, because you very clearly do not know anything about anarchism. the freedom of association requires the freedom to disassociate.

  as for the rest of your comment, it takes a real special sort of person to look at examples I gave you of cities literally feeding thousands of people through urban farms and go “nah, I can’t conceive of that being true, so it isn’t”. that’s MAGA levels of denial. it doesn’t matter your opinion or feelings on the matter. it’s a real thing, it’s happening now, and it’s slowly being scaled upwards. snarky bullshit remarks aren’t going to change that.

  I will be blocking you now. you’re not interested in accepting reality, and so our mutual association is no longer mutual, and I’m taking advantage my freedom to cut closed-minded useless people out of my life. live the rest of your sad little life as a slave to capitalism in whatever depressing, dystopian way seems best to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You talk about,s solidarity afeter having decided that a life-changing sum of money would be used to benefit you and those you deem worthy of yourself.

  anarchism is all about mutual association. so yes, anarchist communities would be made of people who agreed to be a community together. this is basic.

  Humanity already went through the conditions you described in your post: it was during the middle ages, when cities were tiny nation states at constant war with eachother to scrap the poor and few resources available, serfdom was pretty common and people were lucky to live past 40 years of age. Not exactly my first choice when it comes to decide how I would like to live my future life.

  what a first-world mindset. many places in the world still operate like this, you’re just so comfortable in your way of life you don’t even think about them. I would encourage you to break out of that mindset, and show a little interest in the wide world around you.

  I almost forgot, you still haven’t explained how should people living in cities and urban areas survive in this future of yours. Does your crop grow on asphalt and concrete or do you see the problem your “vision” would bring to a huge part of any population?

  yes, crops do grow in the cities. many cities are turning to urban farming in order to feed people. singapore is a leader in this, because they have a very large population with very little area for anything, let alone farming food. with not only private citizen-grown farms, but also the worlds first commercial rooftop farming company. and it’s not just rooftops, farms are appearing indoors, sometimes taking up entire floors in some skyscrapers. in cities in china, such as chongqing and shenzhen, urban farms and gardens are very common, and shoved into whatever small areas they can be put into. i’ve seen them in alleys, dead space between buildings, on rooftops, hanging from the ceiling, and even on top of concrete walls in the form of potted crops.

  but it’s not just asia, places like new york city are also mandating green spaces on top of some skyscrapers as well. those can take the form of parks, or farms, depending on the preferences of the building owners, as long as they are natural plants. furthermore, many residential apartment buildings in places like new york, chicago, and other american cities are seeing rooftop farms appear. in reality, almost everyone can grow some food for themselves, even if all you have is a single small window sill.

  you seem to be very ignorant of the world. I would also encourage you to seek out information on green initiatives, and how people in cities are dealing with the problems they face in an urban landscape. there is no doubt that you are speaking on a topic you are woefully unprepared for.

  And prayvtell, where do you find your seedlings and your fertilizer?

  well we use the stuff we grow for seeds, we don’t buy into the capitalist propaganda that you can’t replant things because It’S iLeGaL. and compost is free and easy to make.

  And the tools to be used to work the fields?

  my next-door neighbor is a 40-year old dude that took up blacksmithing after he watched one too many YT videos. he made me a knife for last christmas out of a rusty steel cable.

  Also, I forgot to ask how would you fare in a draught, a hailstorm or a long winter

  I live in the midwest, we deal with those all the time.

  a better world is possible, and it’s not a dream. get up off your ass and make it with your friends. don’t let legality or naysayers tell you something is impossible, that’s capitalist propaganda meant to keep you down.

  my family and I grow most of our food, and we’re part of the local community garden where the small town we live in also grows food that is shared with everyone.

  I never made myself out to be virtuous, nor do I care about what you think of me. I’m an asshole, and that’s fine because I love me exactly how I am and don’t need random strangers on the internet for validation. and I certainly don’t care about what you think of them making propaganda videos. I wouldn’t even still be in this thread if you guys weren’t still throwing a tantrum about somebody calling out your precious favorite YouTube channel for their less-than-stellar quality and tendency to pander to billionaires.

  I posted my opinion, you got butthurt over it. that’s as far as this conversation is ever going to go, because I don’t care about you enough to bother arguing it extensively. now why don’t you take your sci-fi antisemitic trope of a username and get out of my mentions.

  Secondly, if you take money from billionaires to make propaganda videos for them, then you’re owned by them. You sell your soul to the devil, you can’t undo it later because you get called out for it.

  OK, so you had an incorrect perception of a comment, but it’s not your fault. No, surely it must be everyone else that’s at fault for *checks notes* “nullifying action”, whatever the fuck that made-up nonsense verbiage means. not only that, but then your pet attack dog comes along and somehow twists that into me defending pedophiles.

  idk, maybe the problem here people is contorting themselves into human pretzels so they can leap to nonsensical conclusions.
